An upcoming patch has a use for a tap device to be created that
doesn't need to be actually put into the "up" state, and keeping it
"down" keeps the output of ifconfig from being unnecessarily cluttered
(ifconfig won't show down interfaces unless you add "-a").
bridge.[ch]: add "up" as an arg to brAddTap()
uml_conf.c, qemu_command.c: add "up" (set to "true") to brAddTap() call.
This is in response to:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=629662
Explanation
qemu's virtio-net-pci driver allows setting the algorithm used for tx
packets to either "bh" or "timer". This is done by adding ",tx=bh" or
",tx=timer" to the "-device virtio-net-pci" commandline option.
'bh' stands for 'bottom half'; when this is set, packet tx is all done
in an iothread in the bottom half of the driver. (In libvirt, this
option is called the more descriptive "iothread".)
'timer' means that tx work is done in qemu, and if there is more tx
data than can be sent at the present time, a timer is set before qemu
moves on to do other things; when the timer fires, another attempt is
made to send more data. (libvirt retains the name "timer" for this
option.)
The resulting difference, according to the qemu developer who added
the option is:
bh makes tx more asynchronous and reduces latency, but potentially
causes more processor bandwidth contention since the cpu doing the
tx isn't necessarily the cpu where the guest generated the
packets.
Solution
This patch provides a libvirt domain xml knob to change the option on
the qemu commandline, by adding a new attribute "txmode" to the
<driver> element that can be placed inside any <interface> element in
a domain definition. It's use would be something like this:
<interface ...>
...
<model type='virtio'/>
<driver txmode='iothread'/>
...
</interface>
I chose to put this setting as an attribute to <driver> rather than as
a sub-element to <tune> because it is specific to the virtio-net
driver, not something that is generally usable by all network drivers.
(note that this is the same placement as the "driver name=..."
attribute used to choose kernel vs. userland backend for the
virtio-net driver.)
Actually adding the tx=xxx option to the qemu commandline is only done
if the version of qemu being used advertises it in the output of
qemu -device virtio-net-pci,?
If a particular txmode is requested in the XML, and the option isn't
listed in that help output, an UNSUPPORTED_CONFIG error is logged, and
the domain fails to start.
When the <driver> element (and its "name" attribute) was added to the
domain XML's interface element, a "backend" enum was simply added to
the toplevel of the virDomainNetDef struct.
Ignoring the naming inconsistency ("name" vs. "backend"), this is fine
when there's only a single item contained in the driver element of the
XML, but doesn't scale well as we add more attributes that apply to
the backend of the virtio-net driver, or add attributes applicable to
other drivers.
This patch changes virDomainNetDef in two ways:
1) Rename the item in the struct from "backend" to "name", so that
it's the same in the XML and in the struct, hopefully avoiding
confusion for someone unfamiliar with the function of the
attribute.
2) Create a "driver" union within virDomainNetDef, and a "virtio"
struct in that struct, which contains the "name" enum value.
3) Move around the virDomainNetParse and virDomainNetFormat functions
to allow for simple plugin of new attributes without disturbing
existing code. (you'll note that this results in a seemingly
redundant if() in the format function, but that will no longer be
the case as soon as a 2nd attribute is added).
In the future, new attributes for the virtio driver backend can be
added to the "virtio" struct, and any other network device backend that
needs an attribute will have its own struct added to the "driver"
union.
The introduction of the v3 migration protocol, along with
support for migration cookies, will significantly expand
the size of the migration code. Move it all to a separate
file to make it more manageable
The functions are not moved 100%. The API entry points
remain in the main QEMU driver, but once the public
virDomainPtr is resolved to the internal virDomainObjPtr,
all following code is moved.
This will allow the new v3 API entry points to call into the
same shared internal migration functions
* src/qemu/qemu_domain.c, src/qemu/qemu_domain.h: Add
qemuDomainFormatXML helper method
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: Remove all migration code
* src/qemu/qemu_migration.c, src/qemu/qemu_migration.h: Add
all migration code.
Move the qemudStartVMDaemon and qemudShutdownVMDaemon
methods into a separate file, renaming them to
qemuProcessStart, qemuProcessStop. All helper methods
called by these are also moved & renamed to match
* src/Makefile.am: Add qemu_process.c/.h
* src/qemu/qemu_command.c: Add qemuDomainAssignPCIAddresses
* src/qemu/qemu_command.h: Add VNC port min/max
* src/qemu/qemu_domain.c, src/qemu/qemu_domain.h: Add
domain event queue helpers
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c, src/qemu/qemu_driver.h: Remove
all QEMU process startup/shutdown functions
* src/qemu/qemu_process.c, src/qemu/qemu_process.h: Add
all QEMU process startup/shutdown functions

Error: Expecting a partition number.
This patch introduces 'dmsetup' to fix it.
Changes:
- New function "virIsDevMapperDevice" in "src/utils/utils.c"
- remove "is_dm_device" in "src/storage/parthelper.c", use
"virIsDevMapperDevice" instead.
- Requires "device-mapper" for 'with-storage-disk" in "libvirt.spec.in"
- Check "dmsetup" in 'configure.ac' for "with-storage-disk"
- Changes on "src/Makefile.am" to link against libdevmapper
- New entry for "virIsDevMapperDevice" in "src/libvirt_private.syms"
Changes from v1 to v3:
- s/virIsDeviceMapperDevice/virIsDevMapperDevice/g
- replace "virRun" with "virCommand"
- sort the list of util functions in "libvirt_private.syms"
- ATTRIBUTE_NONNULL(1) for virIsDevMapperDevice declaration.

The code expected that host CPU architecture matches the architecture on
which libvirt runs. This is normally true but not in tests, where host
CPU is faked to produce consistent results.
Make with_packager and with_packager_version default to "no". This way
--without-packager-version (as shorthand for --with-packager(-version)=no)
works correctly too.
Prior to this patch libvirt outputs a line like this when
--with-packager(-version) was not specified

clang had 5 reports against virCommand; three were false positives
(a NULL deref in ProcessIO solved by sa_assert, and two uninitialized
memory operations solved by adding an initializer), but two were real.
* src/util/command.c (virCommandProcessIO): Fix real bug of
possible NULL dereference. Teach clang that buf is never NULL.
(virCommandRun): Teach clang that infd is only ever accessed when
initialized.
The processWatchdogEvent fix is real, although it can only trigger
on OOM, since bad things happen if doCoreDump is called with a NULL
pathname argument. The other fixes silence clang, but aren't a real
bug because virReportErrorHelper tolerates a NULL format string even
though *printf does not.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (processWatchdogEvent): Exit on OOM.

When creating the virDomain::snapshots hash table, virGetDomain
wasn't checking if the creation was successful. This would then
lead to failures in the vir*DomainSnapshot functions. Better to

"virStorageBackendCreateVols":
"names->next" serves as condition expression for "do...while",
however, "names" was shifted before, it then results in one less

clang complained that STREQ(group->controllers[i].mountPoint,...) was
a NULL dereference when i==VIR_CGROUP_CONTROLLER_CPUSET, because it
assumes the worst about virCgroupPathOfController. Marking the
argument const doesn't yet have an effect, per this clang bug:
http://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=7758
So, we use sa_assert, which was designed to shut up false positives
from tools like clang.
* src/util/cgroup.c (virCgroupMakeGroup): Teach clang that there
is no NULL dereference.
This patch reorders the connlimit and comment match extensions relative to the state match (-m state); connlimit being most useful if found after a -m state --state NEW and not before it.

Commit 9962e406c6 introduced a
problem where if the VM failed to startup, it would not be
correctly cleaned up. Amongst other things the SELinux
security label would not be removed, which prevents the VM
from ever starting again.
The virDomainIsActive() check at the start of qemudShutdownVMDaemon
checks for vm->def->id not being -1. By moving the assignment of the
VM id to the start of qemudStartVMDaemon, we can ensure cleanup will
occur on failure
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: Move initialization of 'vm->def->id'
so that qemudShutdownVMDaemon() will process the shutdown

arbitrary formats, since we aren't using gnulib module; instead,
use virVasprintf to pre-format.

When attaching a device that already exists, xend driver updates
the device with "device_configure", it causes problems (e.g. for
disk device, 'device_configure' only can be used to update device
like CDROM), on the other hand, we provide additional API
(virDomainUpdateDevice) to update device, this fix is to raise up
errors instead of updating the existed device which is not CDROM
device.
Changes from v1 to v2:
- allow to update CDROM

Suspending a VM which contains shell meta characters doesn't work with
libvirt-0.8.7:
/var/log/libvirt/qemu/andreas_231-ne\ doch\ nicht.log:
sh: -c: line 0: syntax error near unexpected token `doch'
sh: -c: line 0: `cat | { dd bs=4096 seek=1 if=/dev/null && dd bs=1048576; }
Although target="andreas_231-ne doch nicht" contains shell meta
characters (here: blanks), they are not properly escaped by
src/qemu/qemu_monitor_{json,text}.c#qemuMonitor{JSON,Text}MigrateToFile()
First, the filename needs to be properly escaped for the shell, than
this command line has to be properly escaped for qemu again.
For this to work, remove the old qemuMonitorEscapeArg() wrapper, rename
qemuMonitorEscape() to it removing the handling for shell=TRUE, and
implement a new qemuMonitorEscapeShell() returning strings using single
quotes.
Using double quotes or escaping special shell characters with backslashes
would also be possible, but the set of special characters heavily
depends on the concrete shell (dsh, bash, zsh) and its setting (history
expansion, interactive use, ...)

The logging functions are enhanced so that immediately prior to
the first log message being printed to any output channel, the
libvirt package version will be printed.
eg
$ LIBVIRT_DEBUG=1 virsh
18:13:28.013: 17536: info : libvirt version: 0.8.7
18:13:28.013: 17536: debug : virInitialize:361 : register drivers
...
The 'configure' script gains two new arguments which can be
used as
--with-packager="Fedora Project, x86-01.phx2.fedoraproject.org, 01-27-2011-18:00:10"
--with-packager-version="1.fc14"
to allow distros to append a custom string with package specific
data.
The RPM specfile is modified so that it appends the RPM version,
the build host, the build date and the packager name.
eg
$ LIBVIRT_DEBUG=1 virsh
18:14:52.086: 17551: info : libvirt version: 0.8.7, package: 1.fc13 (Fedora Project, x86-01.phx2.fedoraproject.org, 01-27-2011-18:00:10)
18:14:52.086: 17551: debug : virInitialize:361 : register drivers
Thus when distro packagers receive bug reports they can clearly
see what version was in use, even if the bug reporter mistakenly
or intentionally lies about version/builds
* src/util/logging.c: Output version data prior to first log message
* libvirt.spec.in: Include RPM release, date, hostname & packager
* configure.ac: Add --with-packager & --with-packager-version args
QEMUD_CMD_FLAG_PCI_MULTIBUS should be set in the function
qemuCapsExtractVersionInfo()
The flag QEMUD_CMD_FLAG_PCI_MULTIBUS is used in the function
qemuBuildDeviceAddressStr(). All callers get qemuCmdFlags
by the function qemuCapsExtractVersionInfo() except that
testCompareXMLToArgvFiles() in qemuxml2argvtest.c.
So we should set QEMUD_CMD_FLAG_PCI_MULTIBUS in the function
qemuCapsExtractVersionInfo() instead of qemuBuildCommandLine()
because the function qemuBuildCommandLine() does not be called
when we attach a pci device.
tests: set QEMUD_CMD_FLAG_PCI_MULTIBUS in testCompareXMLToArgvFiles()
set QEMUD_CMD_FLAG_PCI_MULTIBUS before calling qemuBuildCommandLine()
as the flags is not set by qemuCapsExtractVersionInfo().
